Well fellas, what a race that was. From the fans complaining non stop about the 'boring racing' to Kyle Petty's ramblings, to the vicious wrecks, to a surprise suspension, this race had it all. At 6 PM NASCAR announced that AJ Allmendinger had failed a drug test and was suspended for the race. Sam Hornish Jr. had to fly in and replace him in the race. This was something I never expected to happen. AJ? Really? None of us can judge the man, because the results of his B test are not in yet, and no statement has been made from anyone yet. All we can do is sit, speculate, and hope it was nothing AJ can't fix. He has had such a promising career in NASCAR, and in motorsports period. I don't personally believe AJ did anything wrong, but we will just have to wait and see. But, beside that, I am disgusted at today's NASCAR fans. NASCAR is listening and trying to please everyone. But no matter how hard they try, these fans won't be pleased till the COT is gone, the Chase is gone, and Jr. is a 9 time champion. I saw more complaining tweets last night than I ever saw. I wanted to reply to them all and say 'Oh cry me a river'. The pack racing is back. Albeit, there's no passing. Well, blame that on Roush's Ford power and Matt Kenseth and Greg Biffle's conservative racing nature. It seemed like no one was happy until the last 20 laps...which were full of wrecks...and tandem racing. The two things these fans don't like. I can't understand it anymore. If they don't like it, why are they still watching it? And still complaining about it? Sure, if there is a massive flaw in the package, it would be OK to say something. But this is the pack racing we've all loved.
Oh well. There's not much we can do about it. We might as well just watch IndyCar at Toronto and move on to next week.
